Live it Right
Young people play video games at the back of the Sojo Street Reach van during a stop in Jackson County
During the week of January 9th, a film crew from Ohio University spent time at Sojourners doing a video about our Street Outreach Program. The crew members, Matt Fillman, Riley Gibson, Karen Kasmauski and Heather Rousseau, are graduate students in the Ohio University Schools of Visual Communications (VisCom) and Film.
The short film features Travis Chevalier and Steven “Vern” Vanover, both Sojourners Street Outreach Workers, and Matt Yates, Street Outreach Coordinator. The young men share their stories about what life was like before they became participants in the Sojourners Transitional Living Program, and why the work they do as Sojourners employees is so important to them. The film showcases the work the Street Outreach team does as it cruises through the streets and roads of southeast Ohio looking for homeless young people in need of assistance.
Thanks so much to this team of very talented men and women who so clearly captured the essence of the work of our Street Outreach Program and the young men who try to “Live it Right” every day.
